Extra storage via SD Card reader (v3)

2013-05-10 Thread Rod Blitvich
Does this mean that for 24 euros you can have an extra 64GB of storage?
And you can leave it in, all the time?
cheers
blitto

the Smartsuit Slim MicroSD card adapter from Apotop can add up to 64GB of 
storage to your 13in MacBook Air or MacBook Pro; the drive just slips into the 
often-idle SD Card slot on your computer, automatically augmenting your 
available memory. The card is available in three different eye-catching 
colours: pink, green and blue.

I think it's just for the adaptor
then maybe you need to buy a card for around $60? for 64GB?

Traveling with Apple products

2013-05-10 Thread Peter Crisp
Folks, I'm taking my family to the US and Canada in September/October for 
nearly 5 weeks. My wife and I have iPhones and kids each have an iPod touch and 
soon iPad Mini (WIFI only) each. I also have an iPad (WIFI only) regular. All 
iPads are/going to be 16GB.

I have a couple of questions. 

If when I get there and I call up the App Store for local relevant apps with 
any of these devices, will it seek the Aus store or the US store and does it 
matter anyway?

How do I charge? Shall I eBay some US plugged chargers? Use car adaptor of 
cigarette point which I already have.

I also have a DSLR camera and I'll be taking lots of photos. It has a 32GB SD 
card in it and I want to do some backing up of the images whilst in transit. I 
have an SD to iPad adaptor, so importing to one or more of the iPads might 
serve as back up storage, or I could simply place onto a MEM stick if I use a 
computer at a Internet cafe from the SD. I'm hoping not to have to cart any of 
our MacBooks.

I also use my laptop and others use their respective computers for iTunes 
library storage, so I don't use iCloud.

I'm interested how others have dealt with these questions. Thanks for any 
responses in advance.

Regards

Pete

Re: Traveling with Apple products

2013-05-10 Thread Daniel Kerr
Hi Peter

I haven't travelled outside Aus (well bar NZ), so can't really give exact 
info. 
But iTunes will revert you back to your set preference of Australian App Store.

For the charging. If you have quite a few items, iPads, phone etc. Take a small 
4 way power board. Then all you need is one US adapter for the end of it. You 
can then plug all the normal Australian things into. (Bearing in mind it will 
be running at 110W I think it is). That way you don't need lots and lots of end 
adapters, and you can still charge everything. And a 4way power board is pretty 
small and light so wont' add to much in the suitcase.

Backing up to iPad's can work well just incase.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Traveling with Apple products

2013-05-10 Thread Peter Crisp
Thanks Daniel.

So do I need to specifically reset my App store setting from Aus to US when 
there or just leave it to do its own thing. 

That's a good idea wrt charging. Will the Aus adaptors tolerate 110 volt 
source? I'll check the fine print on the adaptor when home. Out at the moment.

Nope, it will just remember your preference for the Aus store I believe.
Yes, the adapters are meant to auto adjust to 110/240V I believe, as do all the 
Apple laptops. (I know the laptops do).

I use USA store all the time but it probably doesn't matter. You probably don't 
need lots of local apps anyway.
 
 How do I charge? Shall I eBay some US plugged chargers? Use car adaptor of 
 cigarette point which I already have.

All of you apple gear will work wi a low cost adapter from a travel store.
 
 I also have a DSLR camera and I'll be taking lots of photos. It has a 32GB SD 
 card in it and I want to do some backing up of the images whilst in transit. 
 I have an SD to iPad adaptor, so importing to one or more of the iPads might 
 serve as back up storage, or I could simply place onto a MEM stick if I use a 
 computer at a Internet cafe from the SD. I'm hoping not to have to cart any 
 of our MacBooks.

I would recommend a cloud based service like drop box or the brilliant eye fi 
cards which not only download wirelessly but also have a back up option.

I have seen some hard drive-to-camera gear but haven't used it and think it can 
get lost as well as the cloud is safer for storage.

I don't know what you are doing about getting sims and mobile phones but it is 
really cheap to get a phone from virginmobileusa.com or purchase form 
RadioShack. Unlimited data and text and calls for about $60/month no plan. 
(Though data is good for text browsing only)

They also offer a mi fi device which might come in handy for the family. I put 
it in my handbag and would have it on all the time in case I wanted to make a 
Skype call in the run.

Hope this is helpful.

Re: Extra storage via SD Card reader (v3)

2013-05-10 Thread Neil Houghton
Hi Ronni  Rod,

For me, Rod's recent posts (formatted versions) only display the signature -
as did Ronni's last post (see below). I can see what the message should be
if I go to view the source.

When Rod resent the posts as plain text they displayed fine.

Is this something to do with the recent tweaking of the WAMUG list to cut
out plain text/attachments - if so it seems to be NQR (not quite right) in
that the messages do come through - they are just not displayed correctly -
also Rod's email with the attachment did come through with the attachment
(the have a nice day gif).

I did notice that the problem messages seemed to be:
 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail=.

Rather than:
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I don't know enough about the intricacies of email to know the significance
of the above ;o)

I just offer the observations as to what the messages come through like - in
case it is helpful ;o)


Cheers




Neil

Re: Extra storage via SD Card reader (v3)

2013-05-10 Thread Daniel Kerr
Hi Neil

Yes, some of the messages weren't display correctly via list. I've re-tweaked 
it again, so hopefully it should start to come right again.

We had asked a few times about attachments not be sent, and were trying to trim 
it back again.
(they are quite annoying when you get a lot of emails come through on the 
iPhone and it distorts the whole thing, making it sometimes impossible to read 
what it is,..or adds to data limits which can cost,…).

So hopefully plain text and rich text should now all work fine again.

Thanks :)

Kind regards
Daniel

Re: Traveling with Apple products

2013-05-10 Thread Severin Crisp
Pete, I am a bit worried that you will not have enough computer power to hand.  
I would suggest no less than five iPad minis, one each, maybe six with a spare 
in case of problems!

 Folks, I'm taking my family to the US and Canada in September/October for 
 nearly 5 weeks. My wife and I have iPhones and kids each have an iPod touch 
 and soon iPad Mini (WIFI only) each. I also have an iPad (WIFI only) regular. 
 All iPads are/going to be 16GB.
 
 I have a couple of questions. 
 
 If when I get there and I call up the App Store for local relevant apps with 
 any of these devices, will it seek the Aus store or the US store and does it 
 matter anyway?
 
 How do I charge? Shall I eBay some US plugged chargers? Use car adaptor of 
 cigarette point which I already have.
 
 I also have a DSLR camera and I'll be taking lots of photos. It has a 32GB SD 
 card in it and I want to do some backing up of the images whilst in transit. 
 I have an SD to iPad adaptor, so importing to one or more of the iPads might 
 serve as back up storage, or I could simply place onto a MEM stick if I use a 
 computer at a Internet cafe from the SD. I'm hoping not to have to cart any 
 of our MacBooks.
 
 I also use my laptop and others use their respective computers for iTunes 
 library storage, so I don't use iCloud.
 
 I'm interested how others have dealt with these questions. Thanks for any 
 responses in advance.
 
 Regards
 
 Pete
